Hi guys, I am willing to buy (topic) with a manual transmission, have you noticed any problems with them that I should know about?
Are these cars reliable? Since they have been manufactured?
I would appreciate if you could tell me anything about the usage/problems/comforts etc. etc.

 

I just bought a brand new one 2 weeks ago. I had a manual chevy cobalt before, i noticed with the lancer you have to come to a COMPLETE stop even with the clutch in to go into reverse...i dont know if thats a safety thing or what but my cobalt never did that nor any other stick i've had. Hope this helps your decision making.

 

Hi. I have a 2009 Lancer ES and its a great car, I choose the CVT because I drive a lot in the city, both manual & CVT are so reliable and they feel great on the highway.

Any Lancer is a good choise, but for a little more $ you should go for the ES.

 

I actually can't buy it (or call it I don't want it). It's not that I changed love to Japanese cars, only the dealer GRAND MITSUBISHI, ILL doesn't have good salesmen, they don't give a damn about a customer, they just want to sell the goddamn car after 5 minutes entering the dealership. If any of you could recommend me a good Mitsubishi dealer in Illinois I would really appreciate.
BTW, what do you mean that you have to stop the car totally to put the reverse gear? I don't get it, for example if you want to turn around fastly (reverse) turn around the car 180 degrees and put 1st gear it won't work? till you stop or something?

 

Is it worth to go with the ES model? What does it have that the DE doesn't (I know about rims ) and sun and sound package for 2 grand....
